key of C, very slow 4/4
Intro: C / walk down from C to Am stopping at (Cmaj9/E) throughout/ Am / walk down from Am to F (Am w/ G bass) throughout / F / G /G7 (repeat)
[C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G] [F] [G]
Well I have [C]been in chains[Cmaj9/E], [Am]chains for a [Am7/G]long, long [F]time [G]
And I have [C]bore them long[Cmaj9/E], so [Am]long,
and [Am7/G]now I'm [F]weary of life [G]
[F]I thought a lot a [G]bout it, now I'm [C]sure that I'm [Cmaj9]gonna [Am]do it
[Am7/G] So when I [F]get a chance,
[G]I'm gonna kill myself[C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G] [F] [G] [G7]
Now I [C]know that you're[Cmaj9/E] gonna [Am]try and [Am7/G]talk me [F]out of it [G]
And as a [C]friend[Cmaj9/E], it's the [Am]least I'd ex[Am7/G]pect from [F]you [G]
[F]But I made up my mind [G], I guess
I'm[C] just not[Cmaj9/E] the [Am]earthbound kind [Am7/G]
And when I [F]get a chance, [G]I'm gonna kill my [C]self
[F]Now don't get me [G]wrong, it's not a [C]bout you
[F]And it don't [G]mean that I don't [C]love you
[F]You've been the best kind of [G]friend, but [C]every road[Cmaj9/E]
has its [Am]end
[G bass]And when I [F]get my chance, [G]I'm gonna call it quits[C]
[Cmaj9] [Am] [G bass] [F] [G] [G7]
And I've [C]thought a lot[Cmaj9/E] a [Am]bout [Am7/G]how I'll do [F] it [G]
And I [C]promise[Cmaj9/E] I won't [Am]make a mess for [F]you [G]
[F] But pills ain't [G]sure enough, and a [C]gun that just
[Cmaj9/E]ain't my [Am]style
So next [F]time I'm alone, [G]I'm gonna hang myself[C]
Now I have [F] been in pain, [G]pain for a long, long [C]time
And I have [F] been in hell, and [G]sometimes you could
[C]see it [Cmaj9/E]in my [Am]eyes
[G] [F] I pray the Lord will under [G]stand,
I'm not a [C]coward [Cmaj9/E]or a [Am]thankless man[Am7/G]
It's just [F]all spelled out, [G]I'm gonna kill myself[C][Cmaj9/E]
[Am] [Am7/G]It's just [F]plain as day, [G]I'm gonna walk away[C]
[Cmaj9]Where this world[Am] won't find[G bass] me a [F]gain
It's O [G]K, just let me [C]slip away [Cmaj9/E]
[Am] My [Am7/G]friend it's too [F]late,
[G]There's nothing you could [C]say [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [G bass]
I'm not [F]sick or crazy,just[G]no more [G7]game to play [C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
I'm not [F]faithless or lazy,
[G]but say that prayer for me[C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am]
I'm at [G bass]peace with it [F]now For the [C]first time
[Cmaj9/E]in the [Am]longest time[G bass] I'm at [F]peace, [G]I'm at peace
[C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am]
[G bass]Only God[F] can judge me now[G], I'm at peace [C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am]
I'm [Am7/G]in His arms[F] some how[G] I'm at peace[C] [Cmaj9] [Am] [Am7/G]
[F] I'm goin up [G] that dusty road[C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
[F] to the [G]arms of my father [C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
[F] To the [G]open arms of my father [C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
[F]And my father he's been [G]waitin a long time[C] forme[Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
[F]He's been [G]lookin out at the ho [C]rizon [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
[F]And while I'm [G]yet a long way [C]off [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
[F]he's gonna come [G]running out to [C]greet me
[Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
[F]And [G]fall on my neck [C]weeping [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
[F]And he'll bring [G]with him the robe of a [C]son
the [Cmaj9/E] crown of a [Am]Prince [Am7/G] in His [F]Kingdom
And my [G]mother she'll be waiting on the [C]balcony [Cmaj9/E] [Am]
[Am7/G]blowing a [F]kiss to me saying, [G] [C] [Cmaj9/E]"Welcome [Am}home [Am7/G]son"
[F]And my brothers and [G]sisters will all [C]be there [Cmaj9/E]inin the [Am]walk [Am7/G] to my [F]palace [G]
[C] [Cmaj9/E] [Am] [Am7/G]
